If Language by Gregory Betts PDF Summary

Book Description: Most anagrammaticians satisfy their urge with the rearranged name of a celebrity (Marshall McLuhan = Malls launch harm) or perhaps, if more adventurous, a familiar aphorism (The Medium is the Message = The Media is the Muse's Gem). The true devotees of the clan turn to games like Scrabble and Humbug. Gregory Betts' If Language takes this one-time parlour game to its evolutionary extreme - constructing 56 paragraph-long perfect anagrams of an original seed-text. Each poem is exactly 525 letters: the same letters that echo throughout radically different forms. If Language asks: what are the limits of individuality within a closed system? Betts explores this question with humour, intellect, and with a manic obsession capable of turning a simple game into this wildly original exploration.
